This new oxygenation device with reservoir and positive pressure at the end of the exhalation, which allows to bring oxygen to the entire lung, has been proposed as an economical and effective solution that could improve the respiration of patients affected by coronavirus.


Thanks to it, when the patient breaths in, he/she can receive oxygen from a reservoir, whose valve closes with the exhalation. The exhalation would be carried out through a filter against viruses and bacteria with an effectiveness higher than 99.9% and a valve that would avoid the need to make an overstrain to keep the lungs of the patient working in their entirety. Furthermore, this device would allow to give drugs to the patient, in a safe way, through inhalation.
